About

Maddy brings a heartfelt blend of presence, play, and purpose to every child, adolescent, and family she serves. With a Master’s in Social Work from Samford University and a foundation in psychology, her journey into healing began alongside refugee families and children - a formative experience that rooted her work in compassion, cultural humility, and the power of connection.

Maddy has experience supporting children, teens, and families in homes, schools, nonprofits, and private practice settings. Maddy offers grounded, relational therapy that helps clients move toward healing with courage. She specializes in trauma work with children, adolescents, and young adults. Her experience also includes a wide range of challenges including anxiety, depression, and emotional or behavioral disruption. 

A passionate advocate of play therapy, Maddy believes play is the language of childhood. It is how children speak their truth, tell their story, and begin to write a new one. Through the lens of trauma-informed interventions, she partners with children and caregivers to strengthen the child-caregiver bond, restore a sense of safety, and awaken each child's inner voice.
